We reached at Sourdi’s home at exactly 9:00. The house looked exactly as it did in the pictures she sent home to us. We parked a little further up the street and watched the house.
“I can’t believe were here.”
“Me either.”
“Now would be a good time to hear a plan.”
I looked at look Duke then hopped out of the truck. “You want to hear a plan, how about I show you instead.”
Duke ran out his truck after to me and grabbed my arm. “Wait Nea you can’t just walk up to the house like that,” he whispered
“Watch me.”
I raised my hand to knock on the door and it opened revealing Sourdi with the baby on her hip. “What are you two doing here?”

“Here let me hold her.” Duke said
“Thanks I’ll be right back.” Sourdi said as she exited the truck
“She’s beautiful.” Duke said. “What are we really
